More info to help…
I tried something I read in the forums but it didn’t work. I clicked the orange button and got a message that I had successfully allowed google to send emails on my behalf. Then i went directly to the send test email. Same error.

I kept reading and saw that the return email has to match the gmail account. I changed it to the correct gmail but still got the error.
Site is hosted on siteground with growbig plan. contact form 7 sends to info@domain.com which forwards to the heidi@domain.com.
This is the hosting setup I usually recommend to new clients and I’ve successfully used your plugin a dozen times with the exact same setup.

uhm, the orange button doesn’t go away after linking site to google. Is it supposed to?
When I clicked the orange button I got an alert from google which I pasted below.
This app isn’t verified
This app hasn’t been verified by Google yet. Only proceed if you know and trust the developer.
If you’re the developer, submit a verification request to remove this screen. Learn more
Advanced
Orange Allow.. button after successful action should be gone. If it’s there – then there is an error somewhere. Your auth was not completed as stated by the Gmail API error text.
Click on the Advanced link on the consent screen and proceed further. Different Google account may have Less secure apps allowed, some are not – that might be the reason.

I guess I didn’t do a good job describing my steps.
I have the Client ID & Key.
I click the orange button which says “Allow plugin to send emails using your Google account”
I get red caution sign and message that says:
“This app isn’t verified
This app hasn’t been verified by Google yet. Only proceed if you know and trust the developer.
If you’re the developer, submit a verification request to remove this screen. Learn more
Advanced”
I clicked Advanced. I clicked “Go to domain.com. (unsafe)”
I clicked blue button “Allow”
When I return to WP Mail SMTP screen I see message at top with green border that says, “You have successfully linked the current site with your Google API project. Now you can start sending emails through Google.”
Orange button is still there.
I have done this for sites many times using different gmail accounts and have never seen the google screen with the red caution symbol before.
Error says the DEVELOPER should “submit a verification request to remove it.”
I also checked several of the sites where its worked and I successfully used “info@domain.com” email in the “From email” field and gmail account to connect to google.
